We have recently been getting soft eggs. We usually get five hard eggs a day, and maybe one soft shell every three days. And also, the soft egg is never in the nesting box, it is under their roost.
Why are these soft eggs happening, and how can we stop it?
Ask not why the chicken crossed the road, but why the road got in the way of the chicken.
